Smits Silly Sit

Lou Smit's intruder theory does not work. According to the Boulder Police Department, this window sill showed no disturbance, including having "a complete coating of undisturbed dust," per Steve Thomas.

Note: Perhaps someone could post the page reference for those new to the case. My books are packed away.

When I revisit this scenario, I'm almost embarassed for Smit. Almost. Let's not forget that now there are TWO intruders that are the latest spin AND it's winter. What no coats? Also, let's not forget the undisturbed spider web.

PATSY RAMSEY WROTE THE RANSOM NOTESHE WOULDN'T DO THAT FOR AN INTRUDER. PLEASE READ CHEROKEE'S ANALYSIS

Judging by the thick cake of dust on those window sills I would say that basement hadn't been dusted or painted in a while. That smudge on the wall could have been there for a long time - even prior to John's inability to wait until his wife got home, drive to a gas station or go find a tree. JMH&CPO

Here is another shot of the window, mark on the wall and with the suitcase in it. Look at the clutter in that room. It would not be a room one would expect to have pristine walls. It is a basement used for storage after all. JMH&CPO.

Our friend GlynEngland needs to review all the still shots from the crime scene that we can easily repost. Perhaps the documentary s/he was discussing yesterday won't be nearly so convincing once s/he does. Again - JMH&CPO

marks on wall

John probably left those marks.

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drm...408302,00.htmlSmit's argument: Police photographs show an open basement window. The window, hidden from view, would have been a likely point of entry for an intruder.
(jump)Mark on wall: A scuff below the window resembles a shoe mark, "That's exactly where your foot goes, and you're trying to climb in that window and lever yourself down."

TT: okay. But on the outside you’ve got that kind of skinny narrow window well. Did you have any difficulty sliding into that or sliding down the wall?

JR: Yea, well, as I recall, I did it at night and I had a suit on, and I took my suit off and did it in my underwear. But, it’s not easy, I mean, you can get in that way, you get dirty, but.
Jump..
Steve Thomas asks John how he maneuvered himself down – feet first, etc. John says it seemed like he went in feet first..

ST: Feet first, backwards?

JR: Yeah.

ST: And when you went through in your underwear were you wearing shoes…?

JR: I still had my shoes on, yeah.

ST: And were those with a suit, were they business shoes?

JR: They were probably, probably those shoes.

ST: Okay. And what are those shoes?

JR: Business shoes..shoes that I wear with a suit, just a pair of business shoes, dress shoes.
